Product Description
IL-29 is distantly related to type I interferons and the IL-10 family. Expression of IL-29 is induced by viral infection which interacts with a heterodimeric class II cytokine receptor that consists of interleukin 10 receptor (IL10RB) and interleukin 28 receptor . IL-29 exhibits common features with type I IFNs such as antiviral activity, antiproliferative activity and in vivo antitumor activity. IL-29 acts similarly to IFNs, but is less effective generally and has activity in a more limited range of cell lines. IL-29 produced in response to viral infection, activates both monocytes and macrophages producing a restricted panel of cytokines and therefore is an important factor in activating innate immune responses at the site of viral infection. IFN-Lambda 1 antiviral and antiproliferative activity requires Interferon-Lambda 2 receptor tyrosine residues.
